Also sort of fixed the annoying sidemarker issue that plagues this car. Used a zip tie.

Zip tie ... great idea... better than silicone rubber that I used as I'll need to fix if I mess with the 'markers again. Following my dad's original advice to save string, over the years I saved twist ties and now zip ties. Poke a screwdriver blade in to release the latch thingy. Waste not, want not.

What color is your car? It looks really smart, akin to the gray Honda are using recently.

Not my car, but pretty sure it's a 2016 Series 2.0, came in that color, I think it's called molten lava, and with those wheels. But the owner modded it with blacked out Toyota badge and those sweet taillights.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for that.

does anybody have a problem where their cars too low for the snow lol? specifically anybody in or around Toronto?

Lococholo84 · 12-12-2017, 12:48 PM

Last thing I did was gave her a wash

The 17s certainly look a lot better lowered and with some proper 5 spoke wheels. Nice.

Probably due more to having different tires than the rim size. Not sure what tire you had before and after but just about any tire will outperform the OEM tires.

So there you go. Significantly better tire and on top of that you went wider.
